A PhD position is open at the Université de Strasbourg to work on quantum dynamics of diffusion. Specifically, the quantum dynamics of the lateral motion of small molecules adsorbed on metallic substrates will be investigated on the basis of ab initio calculations using a modified version of the Multiconfigurational Time-Dependent Hartree (MCTDH) program package. A Master in physical or theoretical chemistry is required, strong interest in numerical programming is of advantage.

Work may start latest in January 2021 and has a duration of 3 years.

Applications with a C.V. and the name of a reference person should be sent to Roberto Marquardt ([email protected]).
